It’s do or die time for the The Aces of Las Vegas.
Or was it the other night during Game 2?
After drop game 1 WNBA semifinals at top seed Freedom of New YorkVegas coach Becky Hammon told reporters that Game 2 was a “must win.”
But this did not happen, as the Liberty defended its ground again.
This is now the third game in Vegas and the Aces have a very ambitious task ahead of them: No team in WNBA playoff history has come back from an 0-2 deficit in a five-game series. And if the two-time defending champions continue to give up open layups, the chances of rewriting the record books don’t look good.
A’ja Wilson has been his usual spectacular self, but needs his guards to step up. Meanwhile, can anyone slow down the New York Guard? Sabrina Ionescu?
If the Aces win tonight, Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday.
